Lincs CR 0 Posted July 24, 2009 "Holt''s deal has been confirmed ( dependant on Grant passing a medical ) for a fee of £400.00.00 upfront with an additional £150.000.00 if Norwich get promoted this coming season.Also, something of which may be of interest to some ! Rob Bickerton will cease to be an employee of the club one week from now."The guy who posted is a forum veteran with thousands of posts over 6 years... and it seems he is a reliable source to their fans on the forum... interesting... the plot thickens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lincs CR 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Considering Clingan will bring around 650k, Russell will bring over 500k if Burnley improve their offer plus the rebate money... holt for around 500k would surely be acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is the sort of player we need up front without a doubt, we couldn''t afford to bring another striker in the Cureton, Martin, MacDonald mould. We need someone who will put themselves about, who better than the leading goalscorer in League 2 last season?I bet if we were in the Championship still, people would be complaining that we weren''t looking at players in the lower leagues, and now people complain that we are. I think this could prove to be a very good signing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T 191 Posted July 24, 2009 Revenue from fans is no where near enough to cover the costs of wages and other operating costs so the shortfall is covered by generating other revenue, revenue from player sales and cash injections from benefactors. It is the same at nearly every football club. Tranfer money in vs transfer money out is just sone small part of a much bigger picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 56 Posted July 24, 2009 I think 400k and another 150k if promoted sounds reasonable for Holt. Remember that this would be on top of the contract offer already made to Maric, so there must be some money still available and the Clingan & Russell money yet to come.

OTBC 0 Posted July 24, 2009 Rather Holt than Lee any day. The Ipswich connection aside, he''s older and seemingly his desire to play for us is purely based on location and a reasonable contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would also not be surprised if Foulger, the Stowmarkets and Bowkett have put more in, or at least given guarantees, than they will ever announce. Bowkett and Foulger have been as frustrated as most people on this board about recent events and if they have the means they will probably use them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S.Yorks Canary 0 Posted July 24, 2009 some people are just never happydid people expect us to sign 10 £1m players this summer?With the budget at our disposal i think the board and gunny''s team have worked a minor miracle, and I still dont think theyve finished yet.He now needs to get them to play as a team and this time next year I am sure we will be getting excited about our plans for the championship.Fo what its worth, I think holt is over priced if that figure is true, but as we know goalscorers cost money and if he score 20 next season he will have been more than worth it. I think he is a better buy than Lee personally.I just hope weve got some cash left for Jan if we need it, or maybe thats what we will use the clingon / rusty cash for Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The transfer fee noawdays means Jack Sh*t - it''s the full package that matters, and it bleeds us dry all the time. If all clubs took the same approach as Chris Coleman is at Coventry then discussion of transfer fees alone would mean something. until that time I wish you and all the others on this forum who focus on transfer fees can go elsewhere. It''s nearly as bad as Tangy and his discussion of off the field asets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
